Tailor-made Itineraries
"The itinerary and travel information you provided was very useful and comprehensive. Some of the things we remember now are not the tourist must-sees, but being part of local life like going to the tiny supermarket in Venice…" Gill and Neil, France and Italy 2009
"We had the oysters and (half) a bottle of Muscadet in Cancale – must say – one of the highlights! Their seafood–well-what can one say! Everything you recommend was superb." Bev and Garry, Battlefields, Brittany and Loire, 2009.
"The itinerary and travel information you provided could not have been better. Information on what to see en route was extremely helpful and helped the GPS system…. The whole structure and layout was easy to read and made our trip very straightforward and hassle free." Jeff and Vicki, Italy 2009
“You really made it easy for us!”

"…our itinerary was perfect. We fitted in so much without all the time-wasting hassles of organising things ourselves – completely stress-free. The accommodation was much much higher than anticipated. Every place was a delight.”
Favourite place – the vineyards and olive trees of the Midi countryside seen from a French canal boat. The Heywoods, Auckland.

The Hansens, Canterbury (Spain)
“The trip was amazing, – great walking and cycling, lots of lovely food and your itinerary and suggestions were all excellent. The highlights for me were cycling up Mt Ventoux, and walking in the Cinque Terre. And we all loved the Dordogne and Tuscany.”
